NIGHT OF 100 FILMS - REALLY SHORT FILMS WANTED!

This is a call for entries for the Night of 100 Films event at the 2005 Philadelphia Film Festival, April 7 – 20. Be part of this exciting, fast-paced fest that presents 100 competing films in a single evening. How? Every film submitted must be 30 seconds or less (including titles, excluding credits). It doesn’t matter what you shot it on, what genre it is, or what budget you had – but it must be 30 seconds or less to qualify. Deadline for entries is February 1, 2005 – full details are at www.discovolanteproductions.com . Go film!

30 seconds or less? There's a challenge..

By the way, there's a typo in your url.

For those interested, here's the correct url: www.discovolanteproductions.com

Thanks, Will. Got a spare 30 seconds?

Come on peeps! We need submissions! This is going to be a rockin' fest - we got 30 second films, a live band, a bar, award trophies...! And all we need is 30 seconds of footage.

FF to www.discovolanteproductions.com and git it on...

I dunno if I'll be able to get anything put together by the deadline, otherwise I would for sure.

I'm working on something that may fit within :30. If it's done by the deadline then I'll submit it

Domhilton · Jan 11, 2005

Top drawer. There will be an extended deadline posted for Feb 15th later this week - so there is some wriggle room. Hope to see it.

That's tough - 30 seconds but I think I got an idea. I suppose $15 wont kill me. Will work on it.

Domhilton · Jan 13, 2005

Yeah, it's an exercise in efficiency alright but remember the 30 second rule is the only rule - use it any way you want, any genre, style, budget... Think of it as payback for all those lame 30 second TV ads you've sat through.

Excessive swearing okay then?

Domhilton · Jan 13, 2005

If it's in context it's not excessive, right? Be our guest.

Sorry, GBV, I don't believe the Without A Box system is capable of doing that. Obviously, that would be great for our fest as all the films are so small. I will petition WAB to add uploads to their system. In the meantime, please consider sending your film anyway - you have an excellent chance of being selected as we show so many films.

We accept VHS or DVD submissions only - sorry, no mpegs, etc. at this time. Final screening will be from DVD, so be prepared to send a DVD version if a VHS submission is accepted. If there is a lot of interest in uploading file-based submissions, then I will look into a way to track and store submissions for next year.

GbV: DVD is pretty easy.. go to www.videohelp.com and look at their 'tools' section for some free software. DVDAuthorgui is pretty nifty, and there are guides on that site to walk you through it all too.
